New Delhi, 16th November 2017: Tropicana, PepsiCo’s flagship nutrition brand, along with Smile Foundation, a national level development organization, and Michelin star Chef Vikas Khanna, today conducted a tree plantation drive as part of the Tropicana ‘Gift A Tree’ initiative.

Michelin star Chef Vikas Khanna joined in to support the initiative by leading a group of 250 children from Smile Foundation to plant saplings in the city. He also launched his children’s book, his 28th so far, called ‘A Tree Named Ganga’.

While at the event, Chef Vikas Khanna addressed an enthusiastic group of children from Smile Foundation; educating them about the importance of planting trees and being one with nature. Donning his role as an author, he engaged with the children as he spoke about the importance of trees in our lives. Drawing references from his newly launched book, he encouraged them to imbibe one of the most important virtues of trees – the virtue of giving, and made them promise to become responsible young guardians of nature.

He commented, “For me trees have always been an inspiration as they teach us to give without expecting anything in return. So I’m happy to join Tropicana’s ‘Gift A Tree’ initiative that embodies a powerful thought of gifting back to nature. I’m excited to share this experience of planting trees with children from Smile Foundation who are our future generation. Through the story of ‘A Tree Named Ganga’, I’ve made an honest effort to help children understand the value of staying humble and the essence of giving.”

Tropicana’s Gift A Tree initiative aims to spread awareness about the importance of planting trees. The brand partnered with the ‘Rally for Rivers’ and grow-trees.com, and has pledged to plant over 25,000 trees. In the words of Vineet Sharma, Brand Manager – Tropicana, PepsiCo India, said, “Tropicana is closely linked to nature as all our products are made from the fruits of nature. We are delighted to have found like-minded partners in Chef Vikas Khanna and Smile Foundation, who are equally inspired by nature and believe in the spirit of ‘giving’. With Tropicana ‘Gift A Tree, we are taking a small step to gift trees back to nature and encouraging people to do the same.”

The event saw Chef Vikas Khanna plant trees with 250 children at Smile Foundation’s Aarohan – Mission Education Centre in Malviya Nagar, New Delhi. Children from Delhi International School and Health & Care Society – a Mission Education center of Smile Foundation, also joined on this occasion. The children were seen having a great time interacting with their favourite chef at the event.

While at the event, Mr. Santanu Mishra, Co-Founder and Executive Trustee, Smile Foundation commented, “Children are the future of our country. With their unprejudiced minds and unique way of seeing the world, they are a powerful resource to initiate social transformation. If we sensitize them about environmental issues from an early age, they develop positive habits that will make a lifelong difference to the environment. I am thankful to PepsiCo for this wonderful initiative and look forward to taking the message forward on a larger level.”

About Smile Foundation:
Smile Foundation is a national level development organisation directly benefitting over 400,000 children and their families every year, through more than 200 live welfare projects on education, healthcare, livelihood and women empowerment, in over 950 remote villages and slums across 25 states of India.
Education is both the means as well as the end to a better life: the means because it empowers an individual to earn his/her livelihood and the end because it increases one’s awareness on a range of issues – from healthcare to appropriate social behavior to understanding one’s rights – and in the process help him/her evolve as a better citizen.

Doubtless, education is the most powerful catalyst for social transformation. But child education cannot be done in isolation. A child will go to school only if the family, particularly the mother, is assured of healthcare and empowered. Moreover, when an elder sibling is relevantly skilled to be employable and begins earning, the journey of empowerment continues beyond the present generation.

Jaipur, November 17, 2017: IIHMR University, Jaipur, held a stimulating and high profile conference ‘Imagining Sustainable Futures’ on November 16-17, 2017. The conference was part of the University’s annual intellectual offering to the healthcare community called Pradanya. This was Pradanya’s 22nd edition which brought together some notable figures from the healthcare sector to ideate, debate and deliberate on the various challenges confronting the healthcare industry including public health and hospital management, development sector and pharmaceutical segments in both public and the private sector.
The conference was a huge success with more than 600 students of hospital and health management, executives and management professionals from private and government healthcare and social/development sector, in addition to doctors’ nurses, academicians, healthcare researchers, participating in it.

IIHMR University, Jaipur has created a niche for itself in high-quality research, education, and training in health, hospital and pharmaceutical management. It is recognized in national and international health circles for its outstanding work in the field.

Pradanya 2017, the much-awaited annual healthcare conference in the city, focused on the 5 ‘SMART’ issues — S for Sustainable Design And Healthcare, M For Managing Change in Disruptive Times, A for Analytics Mobility and the Cloud, R For Rurban (rural +urban) Challenges and Opportunities and T for Technological Innovation and Well Being.
Explaining the choice of themes for the conference, Dr Vivek Bhandari, President, IIHMR University said, “We chose ‘Sustainable Design And Healthcare’ because it is a concept that has proven its worth across a range of industries and has shaped important policy initiatives. ‘Managing Change in Disruptive Times’, is relevant as the world faces unprecedented global challenges caused by the parallel emergence of multiple disruptive forces. We included ‘Analytics, Mobility and The Cloud’ because of its potential, especially in clinical, financial and operational systems. ‘Rurban Challenges and Opportunities’ another important focus area of the conference exhorts us on creating smart people instead of smart cities. Technology, Innovation and Wellbeing, undeniably, need to be the future of healthcare sector.”

Pro-President, IIHMR University, Mr. P.R. Sodani, in his welcome address, stressed that smart, innovative and sustainable development is critical to transforming our lives and should be the focus of all our healthcare strategies.

Chairman, IIHMR University, Dr. S.D. Gupta underscored the fact that if people are not healthy, development cannot happen. There is a need to shift focus from “traditional healthcare to well-managed healthcare”, he said. Highlighting the key criteria for sustainable development Dr. Gupta said that while environment, social and economic conditions play an important role, the foundation of development is based on good health. “Non-communicable diseases are on the rise (by 2030 they will 75% of the total disease burden) because of behavioural and lifestyle changes. We need to keep this in mind while devising strategies for the future, he said.

Dr. Ram Narain, Executive Director, Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital & Medical Research Institute who was the chief guest at the Conference, said, “The biggest challenge of the healthcare industry is to create a system which is affordable, fair, acceptable and adaptable. Healthcare has become very expensive in India; 17.3% of the nation’s GDP is spent on healthcare. At present, 25% of healthcare expenses are borne by the public system and the rest 75% by the individual which is often backbreaking. We need to narrow the gap and reorient and strengthen our healthcare system.”

Executive Director went on to add that India’s healthcare system is going through a transition. It is vital to handle the medical challenges through better infrastructure, governance, altered recruitment policies and better patient care. Institutions must be focused on effectiveness and delivering timely and safe medical care.”

Health experts and participants hoped that the host of ideas generated at the conference would be executed with the available resources, infrastructure, and technology in a sustainable manner.

Mr. Sandesh Kumar Sharma of the Organizing Committee of IIHMR University Jaipur proposed the vote of thanks.

narrated by the protagonist of the story itself

Few months ago , Our photographer after meeting us decided that the pre wed should be done in another city !

We gave in not realising what was in store for us
We reached kochi and immediately left for the shoot we reached the athirapilly waterfalls for our first look ,
We managed to change and reach the waterfall by 6:30 but sadly the waterfall was open till 7:00 only
And another set back the force of the waterfall was so so fast that we were drenched in water , I was really sad as my hair went unmanageable and my mascara smudged over my eyes
Still keeping our spirits high we managed to get few great clicks , but the mishaps didn’t end there
Later as everyone left we were still clicking and making boomerangs that the guard also left us alone

We went to the nearby shed to change our clothes so that we don’t catch cold , it grew dark and it started raining heavily we were stuck In the jungle with darkness , we couldn’t move because the camera equipments would have got wet ! We had no option but to wait in the stranded jungle … after half an hour when the rain grew slow we decided to move as it was 30 mins walk to find scorpions on the path way ! We freaked out but managed to keep calm and reach the gate .. the gatekeeper was furious and murmured something in Kannada to which we didn’t bother all we were concerned to be safe and out of that scary jungle …
we thought now we will be cautious and not have another adventure but as we reached at our second location the beach
We saw that the rocks had leeches on them so we decided to stand on the upper ones and clearer ones
As we started after a couple of minutes I realise something of grey and maroon colour to my horror I realise it is a chameleon !!!!!!! Changing its colour from the rocks to the colour of my gown !!!!!!!!!

Keeping calm I shoved him down towards beech .. later there were crabs to see our pre wed too
Then the last and the most memorable adventurous mishap was to be in a position to miss our flight due to rain and heavy traffic and we had to return the zoom car on the way to airport !
We had 8:15 flight and we were in Ola cab @7:40 thinking and praying to god to do any miracle that they check in our baggage as baggage counter closes 45 minutes prior …

I didn’t loose hope where as my fiancé and my brother were busy thinking what will we do ..
To our luck and some magic yes they did let us in and we boarded the flight running and gleaming from the funny adventurous pre wed and catching flight in the Bollywood style !

It was unforgettable pre wed for us and the team. So we learned that those happy and romantic pictures have a struggle of their own
In the end all’s well that ends well

P.s but even after all the hurdles and the hard work the result turned out be great ! The grapes are sweet ….

P.p.s I know from the pictures nobody will be able to judge what we went through

It is a story of dancing with restraint, where each design conveys its own unique textural dance works towards exploring the innate aesthetics and meanings associated with metal scrap, waste, leftovers and mechanisms.

The design approach is elemental and subtle within its own celebratory realm. Using different metal textures and parts like coins, screws, nibs, hinges and watches, each product becomes a reminiscence of a mechanism, person, place and time.

The collection is an array of jacket earrings, statement neck pieces, intense metallic rings and many more.
